• and I have what makes my job harder. Being a vampire hunter is no piece of cake no matter how you put it. Vampire hunting is my family’s business we never had any business so I thought that vampires didn’t exist. Boy was I wrong. And to think that it all started out extremely normal.

    Tuesday morning in my opinion is always the hardest. Monday is not that bad unless you did not sleep that night or your hung over. So it was just another Tuesday of no significance. I heard my annoying radio alarm clock playing another annoying pop idol song and slowly rolled out of bed. Falling to the floor with a great thud, which let my little sister Clairie know I was awake. Clairie proudly romped in in her frilly, lacy, sparkly, pink dress that made her resemble a giant teased pink marshmallow with hearts all over it. She swing her long brown pony tail over to me and glomped me. “sister dearest your awake oh I missed you insanely!!” in her somewhat yellie voice so that mom could hear her. Little sister is always trying to be on mom’s good side and earn some brownie points. No one really wants to be on moms bad side although mom is never home.
    So every morning when I get up she comes and gives me a great big hug. I don’t exactly know why she doesn’t do the same to her brother but she doesn’t. she is the youngest in the family and is 6 years old with these bizarre huge green eyes. Total diva that one and also a drama queen. I rolled my eyes pushing her off and kicking her out. She yelled “uhh how dare you! I AM YOUR SISTER!!” From outside my door. I looked in my vanity mirror and began to brush my crimson hair. Even though my hair is fairly straight and short it is still a huge problem in the morning. I couldn’t help but to giggle tiredly at my own reflection. Soon I was ready for school in my uniform, a grey plighted skirt with a white button down short sleeves shirt with cuffs and a blue tie. It wasn’t that bad I guess I have seen cuter but this is good for a private school. I slowly trudged down stairs.
    why did god even make Tuesdays? I mean there is nothing to look forward to and nothing to be happy about. Even Mondays are better because you get to see your friends and catch up with them and all but nothing good comes out of Tuesdays. I have a feeling something bad will happen today. Doesn’t it always? “Good morning rose” my dad and brother said in unison. My mom was off already to go to work. My mom was a vampire hunter. A serious one. I just smiled weakly said hello and scarfed down my eggs.
    My brother Leon, a very tall young man with crazy black red hair, gave me a weird look and said “oh jeez have I taught you nothing!? Look at the way you eat. Ugh, how un lady like!” oh and did I mention my brother is gay? He has been that way ever since I can remember. He has kind of severed for a mom for me and clairie. He is the oldest son and the only son. He was the one who prettied me up for my first dance and all of those occasions. I don’t think he is really into the whole vampire bit but he plays along so dad doesn’t bug him. I’m the main focus of all the bugging from dad and I’m very jealous of him for that. that’s why I tease him so much.
    “whatever gay wad! Bye dad” I yelled as I brought my dishes to the sink avoiding all the clean vampire killing tools on the counter ”dad you missed a spot on the double sided blades.” my dad thoroughly examined them removing all residue. those unholy things glistening in there glory. “Now darling Rose it you see any vampires today use those knifes in your book sack, I know you know how to use them!” And it was true there were knifes in my book bag and I did know how to use them after many years of boring training. I was trained my no other than my mother she was still much better at fighting then I. after all she was a pro and this is not what I want to be doing frankly. True I can whoop any perverts butt, which comes in handy sometimes but, still I didn’t ask for it believe me. Makes me feel very un feminine “Dad you know I don’t believe in vampires and why do you keep putting those knifes in my bag please stop. Makes it very hard to get through a metal detector or get on a plane.” I said in a whiney tone “well I have to keep you from leaving some how and you’ll believe soon enough.” he says but I just roll my eyes and kiss him and my gay wad brother on the cheek and leave of for school.

    I walk to school on a worn trail down the hill where we live. Passing the neighbors house with the yappy Chihuahua. “how nice it would be that kick that think. I bet I would get some good distance! They probable would not have much friction.” I don’t see why on earth some one would want one of those thing the only thing there good for is kicking! when I get a threatening look form the old batty Neighbors next door to the yappy dog I carry on my way to school laughing in spite of my self. This is where things get interesting! Under some cherry blossom trees I see a boy around my age hunched over in the road shaking violently and breathing fast. So naturally I ask if he is ok “oh my! Sir are you ok do you need some help? Should I get a ambulance?” But then I saw it some very oddly shaped teeth. Odd he must be into that whole goth thing. I get no reply from the boy but his shaking had gotten worse. He was a pitiful sight a thin boy practically rolling in the dirt in the middle of the road shaking. He coked his head back and let out a cry of pain granting me another glance at those sharp teeth of his. First thought was “vampire” but then I thought “no, no such thing as vampires!” he then yelled at me “GET AWAY FROM ME YOU DISCUSTING PERSON YOUR CAUSEING ME PAIN DON’T WORRY ABOUT ME YUST LEAV-AUGGGGGGGGGGGG!” I crouch down to his level and put a hand on his shoulder breathing hard; “ok” I think “this guy needs help!” his eyes became level with my neck and he just stared. I turn to get my phone out my bag to call a ambulance but just then I recalled that the ambulances didn’t give service in my neighborhood cause of the fact that we are on a mountian. “don’t die please don’t die! I’m gonna find a way to save you!” Then the guy suddenly raises his head and says “I am sorry but I need this more than you will ever know, hopefully.” in a raspy voice He then opens his mouth to its full potential really reviling those fangs of his. He was slowly approaching my neck drooling slightly. Well my first thought is “is he gonna bite me? well this is nice…… a vampire oh joy”. Then it really hits me “WAIT A VAMPIRE?!” I reach behind me into the part of my back pack that held my knives But it was too late, he has sunken his fangs into my jugular vein. “Oh crud…” was all I could mange to spuder for I had a vampire boy attached to my neck. I could feel a searing pain in my temples and my fingers getting cold. trying to get away I whip around thrashing and to the best of my ability drive the knife into his stomach, the only place my arms could reach since he was gripping my shoulders so tight. The boy fell to the ground clutching his stomach and screaming “ahhhhhh! No!” Purple eyes with no pupils glared up at me before they rolled back in his head. I would have glared back but I was losing blood. Fast. I fell over clutching my neck trying to stay conches. I had the headache of a life time it felt like a invisible force was taking over my brain consuming it with sharp serrated teeth I couldn’t think even the simplest of thoughts without a heaping of pain. I was forcing my self to think where to go? go back home? No, they would kill me! LITARLLY!



    Chapter 2: were to go?

    Going back up hill was useless I could not use that much energy or I would die from blood loss. If I went downhill I would probable fall from the down ward slope and they would find the recently deceased rose laying on the ground at the bottom of the mountain the next day. I was feeling extremely light headed and everything began to go black I was about to pass out I had a feeling. Then I remembered what my dad said a couple days ago. “Rosie since I have heard of some vampire attacks around the area” putting his “weekly spotter magazine” in his back pocket reading the title ’vampires on rampage’ “ take this.” Then he handed me a plunger like thing with a tube coming out of it. There were 2 small plungers on the end of a short tube all together it was a fairly portable device except the large red button and printer like machine in the middle of the tube “Now Rose dearest if you ever see a vampire victim put both the plunger on their neck were the bites are. Ok rose? This should stop the blood loss and if it is not too late take out the vampire esants but if their eyes have already turned purple you will have to kill them quick and painlessly. I hope you will Rose dearest” he explained with a smile on his face. I yanked out the plunger thingy and put both on my neck, one on each bite hole, and lay down flat in the middle of the path.

    “What just happened exactly?” I thought to myself. Did I really just become victim to a figment of my imagination or was I crazy. I was kind of leaning towards the crazy theory. Maybe he was just a crazy Goth kid or a cannibal. I was still in shock so I did not notice what the “*****” as I like to call it was doing to my neck! It was sucking the blood out my neck, boiling it, and putting it back in throw the holes the vampire’s fangs had left. It was making an atrocious sloshing noise that would make even the strongest stomach turn even mine. Then it made a crackle and a piece of paper came out that read “but it is too late for you. You have become a vampire. You must end life quickly, have a nice day. ” I gaped at the note for about a minute, not believing the face. Too late? Oh well this thing most likely doesn’t even work its not like its been tested. My vision became over come by black splotches “Gosh darn it I really hate Tuesday s! Damn it! “Then I passed out falling into still cold darkness.

    While passed out I had the strangest dream! I was in a long black dress lying on a bed of snow surrounded by people. Those people were my family and friends looking at me with scorn even though I stupidly grinned up at them. Evan my little sister Claire was looking down on me. And Leon had a gun pointed down at me. I was watching from above looking down on me and my family and friends. Then suddenly all the snow turned red and the note appeared and this time all it said was “end her life now” then It turned into blue moths and flew away leveling all that red snow to melt and rain down on me. Leon fired the gun and I jolted awake. Luckily you never stay asleep when your killed in a dream.

    When I awoke I was in a 4 post bed with red draping on a extremely soft bed with black silk sheets. I had no clue where on earth I was, I could be on mars for all I know! The room was filled with paintings vibrant of hurricane lily’s and other flowers. The ceiling was beautiful stain glass in an unpredictable almost impossible pattern. “What a gorgeous room.” I said aloud it was gorgeous but it did have a certain air of well creepiness to it. I looked around and found my blood drenched uniform bag in a chair by the door. I blushed “wow the people who took me must think this is a bit suspicious” I said aloud thoughtlessly talking more to myself than anything, I might not even had known I said it aloud. I looked down and saw that I was wearing a pair of button down bunny pajamas. I wonder whose these are. Ugh, I love my saviors but they have terrible taste in Pjs. I looked around once more and thought “where the heck am I?” I began to panic. Did my dad and brother know where I was? What time is it? Am I even in Virginia any more?!


    Chapter 3: through the mirror?


    My current state of sanity is Running around the room trying to find out where on earth I was! Then a spotted a beautifully detailed mirror that drew me in like flies to rotten fruit and walked over to it in awe. I peered into it and …oh god. My eyes were a deep shade of plum. I hope this is just one of those double dreams where you think u wake up but you really didn’t! “No way, no how” I said in a panic clutching the sides of the mirror looking closer and closer at my self. Then I fell in, yes I fell in to the mirror. I was falling for quite some time it felt like I wall falling through endless cold kind of like passing out again. Then I plopped down on to the hard wood floor of a well decorated den where two glamorous people sat on spacious arm chairs. One was a woman with shiny black hair that fell to her mid back and ended in curls. The man was a broad shouldered man thick hair pulled back in a short pony tail. They both were as well decorated as the den and had a velvety aura to them. The woman looking generally thrilled said “oh it seems our little guest has woken, she must be hungry!” Smiling warmly at me. I just stood there and stared at them. “oh my darling we forgot to introduce our selves.” as if it were I were a normal house guest or some thing “Well I will start I am Evalana Amoreona Fleret and this is my husband Emitoss Alexander Fleret. But you can just call us Eva and Emit.” Emit then spoke up “you are on our estate and you are now a vampire.” again do they think this is normal or some thing? “We found you on the ground by our son, leeyhm. leeyhm was half dead thanks to you. Pretty nice blades you’ve got there but seal had that coming”. I still stood in awe, I seem to be doing that more and more lately, just gawped at them. Eva asked “and who might you be? Please do tell.” I snapped into reality under the expecting and demanding purple gazes of the couple at that and quickly responded “R-Rose. Rose Alana For-t-ran!”I stuttered saying my last name wrong by accident. But it was probable a good thing I did my family is a notorious vampire killers and we even had vampire heads hanging over our fire place! “Ah what a nice name you have. Now Rose would you like some cake? “

    Eva lead me into the kitten which was brick and copper and utterly gorgeous. She sat me at a elegant wood table and put a grand piece of cake in front me on a shining copper plate. It was chocolate cake and strawberries with fluffy butter cream icing and woven chocolate on top of it. It was phenomenal everything was so delicious. Then I realized “hey this isn’t chocolate.” So I asked Eva, who had just been sitting there laughing at how much I enjoyed the cake, what the cake was made of. I was not ready for the reply that she gave. She simple said “blood, of course” as if it was the most normal thing in the world. I had had enough surprise for one day so I just said “oh well it is very good.” And gave a spacey smile and carried on eating.


    Chapter 4: ware am I again?

    “so where am I again?” I asked meekly. “Well you are at my humble home. It’s about five minutes walk from ware we found you. Good thing we did or you would have died!” She has a good sense of humor “humble” yea right. This was one of the grandest houses I had ever seen in my life! “Our son Leeyhm should be rising soon. He needs to apologize and introduce himself. I still can believe he left the house like that. He needs blood so badly. Such a crazy boy and then he just chooses some random girl. Inexcusable!” she said more to herself to than me. “How am I supposed to get home?” I asked with a slight fear in my voice. “Hmmm well I guess we should be there when you tell your guardians. So where do you live child?” Eva said. Do I dare tell the truth? NO what would my parent think?

    “Well you know the house with the yappy dog? That is my house and I am sure my parent will understand. They might not notice even they aren’t the sharpest tools. So pleas just drop me off there if you would.” Eva looked surprised “there are other houses with yappy dogs? Well then I must meet your parents Rose! I positively love yappy dogs! I mean I love Petunia” just then the chewahwah came in. The same one I want to kick every morning. They lived in that house how is that possible? This is such an extravagant house and the chuwawah house is so normal! Then Petunia gave me a positively evil look. Wow evil chuwawah strange. So plan A has failed. Oh well the dog is not mine it is my sister and my sister is about to move to Florida. So we are just keeping it temporarily. But it that is your house then I can walk home.” I said thinking fast. The Petunia was moving closer to me. I was watching that thing out the corner of my eye. “so I guess I will be on my way now. ARG- “ as I spoke the Petunia had latched itself on to my ankle. Without thinking I kicked the Petunia across the room. I was right it move really fast through the air. Not much friction I wanted to know how far it would go but just then Emit appeared out of nowhere and caught the thing. I suddenly felt very guilty by the look Emit gave me. Now that I noticed it Emit was extremely good looking! Both of them were Eva was gorgeous also. But Emit was oddly scary and the look he was giving me made my spin turn to ice and the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. Oh geez. “now what was that about? Kicking our pet after all our hospitality?”He glared at me. I felt like I was going to throw up but just then Eva stepped in and said “oh I don’t know what came over our sweet Petunia but she suddenly bit Roses ankle” Eva said her eyes saying “calm down fool!” I stood there feeling the tension in the atmosphere lift thankfully.

    I have no clue about these people but somehow I feel close to them for some odd reason. Then I remembered how I had fallen through the mirror and my pile of bloody cloths. “Um how does that mirror work? The mirror I fell through.” I asked still feeling a bit shriveled. Well that is the magic work of our son. He won’t tell us how he did it though and we want to know as much as you. “Well I should probable be going home soon. Thank you for the cake and letting me use that room. I shall get my cloths and leave and thank you again.” I said to them with a small bow. “What’s the hurry? But if you insist you may leave.” So I fetched my cloths and bag through the mirror. Stopped in front the mirror and looked at myself. Purple eyes, crimson hair, thick lashes, fair skin and full pink lips there I was but different. I pulled my cheek so could see my teeth. Yup there they were some very pointy teeth near the back of my mouth. This is too much I thought to myself. I went back through the mirror and landed daintily in the den. There Eva stood with a small bag in her hands “here, tack this. It will help you out.” Eva said closing my hand around the bag. I opened it and there was a earring with 4 clear crystal ovals and 2 diamonds all with silver framing. It was fantastically beautiful and glittered even thought there wasn’t much light. “it can tell you if someone is a vampire or not if you look through the first one the other 3 you will learn in time. The diamonds will help you contact us so give me a call some time. It is not very easy being a vampire so if you need some help also call.” Eva told me. “ok good bye for now ,Eva emit.”



    Chapter 5: how to hide it?

    Rose walked home examining the trinket that Eva had given her. It sparkled extravagantly in the sun and Rose could not keep her eyes off it. Instead of going straight home Rose went down the hill away from her house. Rose then realized she was still wearing the bunny pajamas and blushed almost as pink as the cherry blossoms that lined the road. None the less Rose still decided to go to town. Walking slowly Rose made her way down the hill and into town. Thinking “what about school?” and “what will I say to dad and bro?” these questions hunted Rose. Rose thought “how on earth will I hide these eyes?” contacts maybe that would work. I could pose as an emo and ware thick rimed black glasses. Rose decided to go with the contacts. It was still extremely hard for Rose to believe even though there was so much evidence that it had happened. It was so evident yet so un clear to her. She now felt like breaking down and just sit there and cry knowing that nothing would ever be that simple again. She could never tell her family the truth. Not even Claire could know. I could tell no one at all I could no longer trust anyone except for maybe Eva and Emit. Rose finial went to the convenience store and bought some nonprescription hazel contacts. Now putting them in was a different story! i struggled just getting them opened until a tall young man around my age with blond wavy hair helped me. “thank you very much” I smiled up at him and our eyes met. I had not yet put in the contacts so my eyes were still purple! Oh crud!

    And even worse I smiled! I hope did not see my fangs I really hope he didn’t see them! He smiled back showing fangs of his own. I was utterly surprised with the bright green eyes he had that they could be a vampire. He said “you really should be careful who you smile at young miss. Good thing it was me who helped you.” And gave me a cold smile. Whoa, what was with that? A cold smile why, did I do something stupid besides the fact that I am wearing bunny pajamas and struggle with a contact lens cap? Wait, aw crud. Just then I could feel the blush slowly creeping up my spine and burning on my cheeks. “Ha ha ha ha” I laughed nervously “I must look pretty stupid to you, don’t I.” trying to smile but then remembered the fang thing. “Why yes, you do look quite stupid in my eyes.” He smiled even wider and colder. Then he turned and left. Why that little, I auto to punch him for that act!” I yelled in my mind. Then I decided to look at him through the earring that I was still holding. I used the somewhat almond shaped one first and it worked, I think. It gave him a faint green glow. What green, why green? I thought that vampires were purple or something. I then glanced down at myself and saw that I glowed a pleasant shade of fuchsia. Hmmm I wonder what else I could see with this. So I sat down on a bench outside the store and peered at passing people. A tall sluty looking woman walked by me on my bench she glowed a sickly green. “Oh my” I commented as she passed. Then a fat man passed by me who glowed a dirty hue of brown. I broke out in uncontrollable giggles when I saw that his butt glowed a deep poop color. When a passing person gave me a disapproving look and to this look I replied “what a girl can’t sit in her bunny pajamas and laugh about random people anymore?” After that I went and tried to put in the contacts which were surprisingly not easy! It was about as easy as giving a stuffed animal a trombone and trying to make it play. After that it was about 3:00 so I decided to go home and come up with some excuse I am sure they will believe me. If they believed the pineapple excuse they will believe whatever I come up with. As I trudged home feeling a bit sick passing up the place were just this morning I had been attacked by a vampire. Remembering the vampire’s words “I need this more than hopefully you will ever know.” The words that had come out of Eva and Emits sons mouth. That is right I never go properly introduced to Leeyhm. I hope I didn’t really kill him. I know he was not too happy when I stabbed him. Well on the other hand who would be? Oh this is just too much to live with. I realized that there was no blood on site ware I had been bitten. What not possible I at least lost 14 of my blood when he bit me I know that. This day is just all to strange.


    When I got home there was a note on the counter indicating that they were all on some stupid outing. The note read:
    “Dear Rosie,
    Claire has found a kitten that we just must save. Be back in about 3 hours.
    Love you, dad Claire and Leon “
    Of coarce what else those idiots could turn anything in to a fun activity. Like one time we had to go to a funaral and then they said “hey since some one is dead we should have a day of the dead festival and go see a movie after words that’s what aunt Gretana whould want.” So this left me to do nothing but marinad in my thoughts and obsurve the life around me. They can turn almost anything into a fun adventure for the family except for me. Luckily get left out most he time, my dad may bug me about it sometimes to go but he never gets me. So I grab a cola and head to the bathroom for a shower thinking how amazing it was that I could still do stuff so normally after all that happened that day, it all went by sooo fast! I was so lost in my thought I didn’t even notice that I was taking a shower in icy water. But when I did notice it didn’t bother me still. I slowly slinked out of the sower dried off and got into my pajamas. I was going downstairs to put my bloody uniform in the washer and fell down the stairs. Typical move for me but this time it was different as in it didn’t hurt! Instead the bottom step was broke in half and the upper 2 were dented. This was almost unthinkable for the wood on the stairs was 5 inch think boards back with bricks under them. For a couple moments I just stood there and stared wide eyed, that’s going to take some explaining! I stood up from the floor where I had landed and found that the tile was cracked too. Ok its going to take A LOT of explaining. But I still carried on picking up the broken remains of the step I had broken into bits and the tile that had cracked into fifths and thrown them away. Oh gosh this is really bad. HOW THE HELL DID I GET OUT OF THAT ONE ALIVE!? I screamed as I slammed the washer top and trudged back up stairs in a state of utter discombobulating flurry. I went into my room and flopped down on my bed going over the day’s events recalling everything. The only thing I couldn’t remember was the boy who bit me although I did feel an odd presents of him even though I did not see him, so strange, no one gets to hear this one!

    Just then I hear my annoying clunky ring tone, it was my insane friend Irina. Irina may appear normal but she is not my far! I picked up and heard”HOWDY DO HOW U DOIN?????”I held the phone away from my ear and answered “ok…I guess” not satisfied she prodded deeper “where were you today? Hmmm? Come on did you find a boy friend??? Did something go wrong with the family? Did Claire get stuck in a tree again? That idiot.” I just sighed did a false cough and said I didn’t feel well. “Ok I will believe you but, you’re going to have to stand me coming up that mountain and giving you a fruit cake that I made…” this was pretty much hell on earth in the form of a innocent cake. That fruit cake could kill anyone even the big devil himself. “Ok could you please get to the point of what you were calling for.”I said a bit impatient “OH, that’s right it’s for the story I’m writing! Do you think that I should make the werewolves only boys except for us or do you think we should have some competition; frankly I kinda want us to be the only ones. I don’t like competition” she let out a slight growl “if you know what I mean. Wink wink.” Heh, that’s just like her I guess though. She was righting a story about us and my other movie addict friend, Shenna. The story she was righting was very fast moving and poorly written but who cares. But right now the hilarious thing about it is that in this book were all werewolves. HA. “Well I like your idea, wink wink.” I couldn’t help but love that fool.

    I then heard a crash and a boom form the back ground on Irina’s phone and her yelling “NO MUM ISWEAR I DIDN’T PUT THAT IN THE OVEN!!!!! NO!!! GAH! SORRY ROSE GOT TO GO LIKE RIGHT NOW!” then I heard a click and the dialing tone. Oh no what had she done this time and THE OVEN. Last time she did something with a oven we had to call the police and bomb squad AND area 41. But I have to admit it was fun. Soon after hanging up with her I felt totally exhausted and fell fast asleep.

    Chap 6: the awakening and the truth were again?

    Again I had the strangest dreams of all sorts. This time I was climbing on a tall tower getting ready to pounce on something. What was I pouncing on? A dog? No a bird. And I also dreamt it was delicious, ew. Suddenly I awakened on my roof wearing nothing but my silk button down pajama shirt and my under garments. I was on the tip of the second story of my house peering down over the forest. To my dismay I had 2 brown mutilated feathers in my mouth and a wing sticking out of my left hand. Also down on the ground spied Eva and a strange boy, which I didn’t think I’ve seen before. Eva called up “sweetie you are quite the frisky hunter now aren’t you? Don’t worry about your family we took care of them.” Took care of?! I thought to myself then imagined the gruesome sight of my family sucked dry and shriveled with maggots coming out their eyes. My stomach did a couple flips and twisted, which resulted in me throwing up all over my roof. “oh” Eva said startled to realization of what she had just said. “ no, no, no. not take care in that way I meant that we got theme something to keep them busy all night and all for the next week !” the boy beside her fell to the floor laughing at me on my roof in my undies and night shirt throwing up every were. Oh boy here came that blush of mine. I felt it creep up my spine and consume half my face and ears. Putting a cherry tamato to shame. But I guess that’s just my luck at least its ove
